The last thing that Skye remembered before being covered head-to-toe in stone was the Obelisk opening and spraying her, Raina, and Trip with some sort of mist. Afterwards, she couldn't move. She tried calling out to Trip, but she couldn't move a muscle. For a second, she thought she was dead, encased inside the stone. Nothing could be said, nothing could be done. She was there, forever frozen in time.

Or so she thought.

All at once, her body suddenly became alive with energy. She could feel millions of vibrations emanating from her as her mind warped into full-focus. Skye had never felt anything like this before, but it all seemed so... natural. Like it had always there. It felt good to her, great even. She felt like she was more than herself than ever before. To Skye, it was short-lived, but absolute bliss.

Suddenly, cracking noises came from the outside, and the stone encasing slowly began to chip off. The vibrations kept speeding up the process, until finally Skye became aware enough to try to force her way out. Eventually, the stone came bursting off of her, and she felt the cold air of the underground temple lick at her warm face as her long brown hair flowed in the wind.

Slowly, her eyes opened first to the pedestal where Raina had put the Obelisk and noticed that it was gone. Turning her head to the right, she saw that it had been strewn across the floor and broken.

Oh, thank God for that. Now we don't have to...

She stopped dead in her thoughts when she turned left to see that Trip was lying on the ground, completely turned to stone. For a fleeting second, Skye thought that he would break out like she did, until she saw that parts of his arms and face were falling off and crumbling to dust.

"Oh God, TRIP! Oh, God. Oh no. Oh my God, TRIP!" Skye panted out in utter shock and despair. She didn't know what to do now. All she could think about was that Trip was dead.

Overcome with grief, she looked away and saw that Raina had been cocooned as well. For a moment, Skye's grief changed into hatred, knowing that she was the reason that Trip was dead. She wanted her to crumble into dust as well, make her pay for what she did. But Raina didn't fall apart, and the stone around her began to chip off too.

Knowing that she wasn't dead, Skye was infuriated. She hadn't hated anyone as much as her, except for Ward who was probably dead by now. All of her anger was directed towards her now, and her body shook in pure fury.

Suddenly, dust began to fall from the ceiling, though Skye paid it no mind. Soon after, small chunks began to fall as well, followed by larger pieces. Shocked, Skye looked down to see her own fists balled up tightly, along with the floor starting to crack open.

An earthquake!?

Mouth agape, Skye looked at her own body. It looked normal, but it didn't feel right. She kept feeling these vibrations, but they weren't coming from the earthquake. In fact, it hadn't even moved her while Trip kept falling apart and Raina kept chipping from her shell. She didn't understand what was going on, but then it hit her: her father had said that she would "change" if she went down here, and Raina had been looking to change herself. She and Raina could both hold the Obelisk, and they were both still alive while Trip turned to stone. The temple only started to crumble once Skye became infuriated, so that could only mean one thing.

Wait, I'M the one who caused this earthquake!?

Skye was absolutely stunned. That mist had given her the ability to cause earthquakes? That kind of thing only happened in comic-books. It was absolutely insane, even for a world where there were gods and men flying around in suits of armor. She was absolutely terrified that she had some strange new form of alien-based superpowers.

Her mind then snapped back into reality, realizing that she and everyone else was in imminent danger. She had to get out of this room, and quick. Before she did anything else, she saw that more of Raina's encasement had chipped away some more, revealing clawed hands, quills, and golden eyes. While at the same time hoping that she wouldn't look like that, she realized she had to make an even quicker escape before she fully emerged.

In an instant, Skye thought she heard someone shouting from behind the stone door that locked her in here. Although it was incomprehensible, she was able to determine who the voice belonged to: Coulson.

A/N: First time I've done this, but I got to ask what you think. Also, I know that Skye is Quake, her father is Mr. Hyde, and hell, I even know that the eyeless guy is the Reader, but I have no clue whatsoever as to who Raina is. If you have an answer, please notify me ASAP!

Thanks for reading!
